at the area between the bridge and soundhole. Sometimes there is
also a flat brace running parallel under the bridge. The 1470 AST
should be placed so that the AST is on the bass side of the brace
running parallel to the strings and that part of the active area of the
AST, that has the lead to the preamp, goes on the brace for the
bridge (see picture at 8.3). If the brace there is too tall put the AST
in front of the brace. Please read the instructions carefully and adapt
them to the installation.
To test fit the 1470 AST, take the cardboard mounting guide from the
tray in the box. Note! There is a small 4.5mm (3/16”) round and a
4.5 mm elongated part that both need to be punched out to make
their respected guide holes. The 4.5 mm round guide hole is for the
low “E” bridge pin and the elongated guide hole to fit at the high “E”
bridge pin inside the guitar. Peel away the protective covers from the
two adhesive dots on the cardboard. Do not peel away the actual
AST mounting adhesive protective cover yet!!
T
he placement of the 1470 AST is important for connection to
the preamp. When using the A1, A2 or A2.2 preamp, the lead of the
1470 must go away from the high “E” string side of bridge area and
towards the butt-end of the guitar. When using the A3.2, A4.2, A5
or A6 preamp the lead goes away from the low “E” side of the bridge
area and towards the upper bout of the guitar (see pictures). When
using A3.2, A4.2, A5 or A6 in left-handed guitars follow the rule of
the A1 / A2 / A2.2 AST placement.
5.1.2. Now mount the 1470 AST to the top of the cardboard mounting
guide at the rectangle 1470 AST area inscribed on the cardboard.
Now put the assembly to the bridge pins, with the AST towards the
bridge plate, and check the fit. All of the AST’s 14 x 71mm active area
must fit at the soundhole side of the bridge plate without touching the
bridge pins or string ball-ends or hanging over the edge of the bride
plate. Also, if using a UST / AST combination, be sure that there is
enough room in that area for the hole for the UST.

Next remove the strings, bridge pins and the saddle. If you are
using a UST, check that it fits into the slot easily, and that the saddle
is sufficiently tight in the slot.
5.3. Remove the strap button. Carefully enlarge the hole using 12mm
(1/2”) endpin reamer or 12mm (1/2”) wood drill bit. Smooth the edge
of the hole with a small file or a sinking drill bit.
5.4.
For UST check the inside of the guitar to find the position of the
braces. Drill a preferably 30 - 45 angled, 2.3 mm (3/32”) or 3 mm
(1/8”) hole (depending on the model of your B-Band UST) for the
transducer into the one end of the saddle slot.
Be careful not to
damage the braces!
In case you cannot make the hole angled,
because of possible damage to the braces, you can make it straight
down. It is very important to smooth the edge of the hole using a bit
of rolled sandpaper or a small file, to avoid pinching the UST as the
saddle lies on it. If you use A3.2, A4.2, A5, or A6 preamp, you must
drill the hole at the low-E string side of the slot.
If you will be installing a 1470 AST along with the UST, the
drilled hole for the UST will determine where the AST will be
placed laterally.
When the UST is treaded though the hole, it should not touch the
AST. The two transducers should not touch each other!
